Data-Hungry 4G Users Gorge on Wi-Fi, Report Finds

As you would expect, consumers with fast 4G cellphones consume considerably more mobile data than those with older 3G devices, but contrary to some suggestions, they also use Wi-Fi far more too.

According to a report by Silicon Valley-based Devicescape Software Inc. users of 4G, or LTE [Long Term Evolution] as it is known, not only consume 2.1 times more mobile data per month, but they also consume 2.0 times as much Wi-Fi data.
The findings seemingly contradict a report by U.K. network operator EE Limited which said last month in a survey of its LTE customer base that 23 per cent of its users said they were using their home broadband less since the switch to LTE.
